-Ik Page Four THE DAILY TAR HEEL Thursday, May 8, . .- The Campus 1 11. , 2 Joe Jones . It is unfortunate, that the gen eral public sel&ogets a glimpse of college students except when they are playing or, loafing. This situation is no j doubt largely re sponsible for' the widespread feeling that college life is little more than a never-tiring succes sion of carefree play-days, a white-collar job with neither re sponsibilities nor office hours. To a great many persons the college man is a hatless, dressed up fellow standing at the curb beside a bestickered suitcase. His thumb points down the road, and there is a look of entreaty upon his honest face. He is an eteral week-ender, forever going somewhere, forever asking per fect strangers to take him there. The non-college inhabitants of a university town must certain ly have a poor opinion of the col legian discreetly .hidden beneath their business pleasantries. They git ban( The wjn occupy SPECIAL TRAIN TO GREENSBORO A special train will carry the University of North Carolina student body to Greensboro Sat urday for the annual Carolina Virginia baseball game, carded for the Gate City's Memorial stadium at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The game, long acknowledged as the outstanding attraction of the Dixie collegiate season, is expected to draw a crowd of more than 10,000 this year, and among the fans will be close to 2,000 Carolina students. .- . The special train, put on by the Southern Railway, will leave Chapel Hill here at 9 o'clock Sat urday morning and arrive in Greensboro before noon. It is scheduled to leave Greensboro at 11:59 Saturday night for the re turn trip. Excursion rates will make it possible for practically all University students to follow their baseball team that day. Plans are already laid for a colorful pilgrimage. The Uni versity students will parade up . - -m Elm Street upon arrival m Greensboro, led by their cheer leaders and the 40-piece Univer- Asbury And Spieden Interview Engineers G. A. Asbury, maintenance engineer of the Southern Rail way of Danville, Virginia, and Theodore Spieden, office : engi neer of the Southern Railway, also 'of Danville, interviewed several men in the engineering school yesterday afternoon. These interviews, arranged through A. R.

The Southern Railway uses three pairs of students of the engi neering school in cooperative work every year. MAY MURRAY FIRST FILM PEP PRIESTESS see him go to the movies every day in the week ; they see him taking his everlasting ease in drugstore and smoke shop, drink uncounted glasses of dope, smoke untold numbers of cigar ettes, trail back and forth and to and fro across the campus and the town, play tennis, play golf, play ball, sit on the fence, ride up and down the street in anything from a '21 Ford to a '31 Isotta-Fraschini, go to foot ball, baseball, basketball games, track meets, wrestling and box ing matches,; attend numerous student entertainments, beat a path to the co-ed dormitory, at tend innumerable dances, and bum to the four winds on Friday afternoon. Far into the night they hear hisryadio or;" phono graph and between midnight and dawn they are awakened by his potvaliant return from an out-of-town dance or spree. They see him roll away in . a big bus to stay; on the, road for days as the member of glee club, band, dramatic organization, or athletic team. ;They see him take Thanksgiving holidays, a fortnight of Christmas holidays, a week of spring holidays, and top of it all off, with "three months of summer vacation. They , don't seem to realize that he has to .sit at attention on a hardwood bench for three whole hours five days a week, and perhaps attend a lab or two in the afternoon; nor that he is allowed only nine cuts in each class each quarter ; nor that he has to go to chapel two or three times a week during his freshman year. What a pity they can't see the inside of any dormitory late most any night after the occupants have settled down from bull sessions, card games, and miscellaneous amuse ments. Then they'd see what a hard worker the collegian real legian really is that is, if any of the boys were still awake. Yes sir, the movies and mag azine stories about college life are all wrong. College men really have to work ! If you don't believe it you've either never been to college or you are a col lege alumnus. their own cheering section at the game Saturday afternoon, ably assisted by organized cheer ing sections from the two girls' colleges in Greensboro. Negro Beats Up Wife Henry Brown, local negro, who six weeks ago appealed to his fraternity brothers in the recorder's court to assist him in his predicament, now finds him self in another equally trouble some predicament, this time be hind the bars. Brown returned day before yesterday morning from serving his time on the roads, and im mediately attacked his wife, beating her badly. Academy Of Science Meet Opens Tomorrow The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the North Carolina Academy of Science is to be held at Duke University Friday and Saturday of this week. Teach ers of science in colleges and high schools all over the state are expected to attend. Meeting with the academy is the spring meeting of the North Carolina section of the Ameri can Chemical Society. A. T. Allen To Speak At N. C. Student Federation Meeting This Saturday (Continued from first page) congress of the North Carolina Federation of Students here Sat urday is now in the process of being worked out. Present plans call for a number of interesting student discussions. Ray Far ris is to lead the discussion for better intercollegiate athletic relations. Joe Savage, president of the Duke student government, and Paul Choplin, president of the State student government, are slated to lead the discussion of the present plans for the bet terment and improvement of student government in this state. Miss Mary Jane Wharton, presi dent of the N. C. C. W. student government, is scheduled to tell the congress about the successes and failures of student govern ment in women's colleges, and, no doubt, she will have a num ber of suggestions to offer to the women delegates present. There will be other student dis cussions along the lines of pub lications, debating Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and extra-curricular activities. r At this initial congress, the final steps will be taken , to set up the North Carolina Federa tion of Students as a permanent and lasting organization, and the student leaders of the state are planning to make this occasion a memorable one in the history of the state. R. C. Greene is to act as chairman of this congress, and John Lang has been as signed the responsibility of drafting and proposing a con stitution for the federation in this first congress. About 60 delegates from 16 colleges and universities in North Carolina are expected at this initial con gress, and everything now points toward a successful day for the state Student Federation here SatnrHav. Mae Murray, it is claimed, is the originator among the screen stars of that well-known attri bute, pep. When she first came to the screen, fresh from her tri umphs as the Nell Brink! ey Girl in the Ziegfeld Follies, she brought with her all. those char acteristically quick little man nerisms that had endeared her to her public on the stage. Thus it was that Mae Murray started a new vogue in screen acting which has since been imi tated by dozens of other screen stars, but there still remains the one and only inimitable Mae, a Mae who appears doubly irresis tible, it is claimed by those in the know, in the new production of "Peacock Alley," at the Caro lina today. RADIO COURSE IS TO BE CONCLUDED (Continued from first page) division to those radio listeners who have the courage to send in their papers and who have pass ed it. These diplomas will be given by the Extension division and will have nothing to do with the University credits The course has been highly successful and has had students in many states. The Extension division has heard from students as far distant as New York state, Ohio,. Tennessee, and Florida. No doubt there are many listeners who have not cor responded with the sponsors at Chapel Hill. The professors who gave this course this year would like to do something similar in the future. Greensboro Social Committee Speaks - May 5, 1930. Carolina Student Body -Care of Student Government President Chapel Hill, N. C. To the Carolina Student Body: We are always most happy to have Carolina students as 0Ur guests on the night of the Carolina-Virginia baseball game. Th' year we are not having the usual Open House, because it happed that the Play-Likers, the college dramatic organization, are pre. senting an old-fashioned melodrama called , "After Dark nr Neither Maid, Wife, nor Widow." This bids fair to be an out standing production in a long list of excellent plays presented by that organization, and there is much interest on the campus among our students in the play. A great portion of them desire to see it The Play-Likers, realizing, that Carolina boys mav wish to accompany some of the girls to the play, have reduced the price of admission to students from $1.50 to the nominal sum of 50 cents, and by students we mean, of course, University students as well as our own. We hope many of you will come. Very sincerely yours, MATILDA ROBINSON, Chairman North Carolina College.

Those who look through it can view the moon and the planet Jupiter. By renting the use of the telescope to students, Mr. Philips hopes to pay part of the expenses of his trip north.

The smartest-looking envelope is the first to feel the keen edge of the paper cutter it gives a good introduction to the letter within . . . and when the paper itself is rich, substantial, crisp to the touch, the message receives pre ferred attention.

GERRARO HALL TONIGHT 8:30 P. M. L Mif , A milestone of Telephone progress This marker is used to show the position of a new type of underground cable line. It is also a monument to the Bell System policy of constantly improving established methods and developing new ones. For years underground telephone cables have been laid in hollow duct lines especially, constructed for the purpose. By this newly developed supplementary method they can be buried directly in the ground without con duit and, under many conditions, at a sav ing of time and money. Ta do this it was necessary to develop a nevv type of cable, many , kinds of special equipment including labor-saving installation machinery, and to work out an entirely new installation procedure. Progress means change. The Bell System holds no procedure so sacred that it is not open to improvement.
